INDIVIDUAL Laser ASsignment
In this rotation I had to 2D laser cut and engrave a cover for a notepad, Laser engrave a water bottle, and Laser cut a 3 dimensional item on Thingverse. When I was creating my note pad I came up with the idea of putting a bonsai tree on the cover because I had once had one and I thought it would look cool engraved on the notepad. For the water bottle my initial thoughts were to do something outdoors and then I thought of Yellowstone and some animals that I saw. Finally, on Thingverse I knew I wanted to make some sort of creature and I happened to stumbled across the gorilla.
In this rotation I was able to gain more experience with the laser through three projects I had to complete. I learned how to make a notepad with an image engraved and cut out, how to engrave images and text on a water bottle, and how to upload a design on Thingverse and cut it out using the laser. I also learned how to take out a rotary jig and now know what a rotary jig is used for.
